Well, I finished another scrapbook page for Jack's 1st birthday album. At this rate I might finish it by xmas. LOL. It was somewhat relaxing...I'd like it better if my tv was back in the office.
But nonetheless it is finished and i'm really pleased with it.
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the cake from Jack's birthday. A dear wonderful friend of the family and talented woman CS made the cake she did a stunning job. I had given her a picture of what I was thinking of and she did it and surpassed it! It was 2 tiered with rolled fondant icing and fondant polk-a-dots. She even polk-a-dotted one of the layers of cake!!!
Here is the journaling from the layout:
CS made your beautiful cake She even made a mini ake just for you. She
was so detailed that she made sure each mini m&m was turned so the
letters didn’t show. She also took a pink and yellow candle, melted crayons to make it match the cake. The cake was everything Mommy had imagined the top layer was chocolate and the
bottom vanilla. Mommy & Aunt Rosie made the cake topper a few days before the party. We used beads, wire, & painted wood letters.
Here are the products I used on this layout:
Tina Chamber's Doodle Delights Birthday WordArt
Jamie Heyl's Doing the Zoo Kit & Add On Pack
Kim Liddiard's All in a Row Quick Click
DSP Designer's 80's Revisited Page Kit

Rosie and I stayed up late one night working on a cake topper that I had pictured but wasn't sure how it would work or if we'd actually use it on the day of the party. Boy was I pleased it was absolutely perfect and really what I had wanted. My vision for the cake was for a kind of explosion a showering of fun.
The colors were colors I used throughout the whole party...to me they are completely boy and perfect for my one year old.
Wow that's just too surreal I have a ONE YEAR OLD!! OMGosh!!

what the heck is a poke??? ... i feel so violated...someone just poked me
through the internet!?! HUH??? LOL...dh is not happy about that one LOL.I just joined facebook today and have no clue what that site is all about...seems like a glorified address book with a bunch of crap added to it... but everyone i know is doing it..or atleast most of them...so I'm trying it out.
Honestly I feel much to old to be on there...it seems like it is a youngster's forum. But on the other hand I'd much rather be on facebook than myspace...I won't let dh post any pictures on myspace of me or our son. Too many crazy's on that site (no offense drew).
At this point I much prefer my onesided blog with the occasional comment from my cousin. Where are all of you subscribers??? Feedburner is telling me there is more than one of you...LOL
I've gone through my highschool network on facebook and its weird to think I'm 7 years out! There are a few friends I'd like to see again besides that I'm more than moved on. Of course one of my bestest friends SH we keep in touch all the time and get together too.
Well I'm off to get some scrapbooking done! I really need to complete ds's 1st birthday album.
Hugs to all!

Good Morning All!!!
I received an email today with a website about Levi LaSalle, he is the son of dear friends of ours. Levi is developmentally challenged and friends of his are raising money to help get him into a program that will help him grow in his learning and development.
His parents have known me since I was a toddler and are like an aunt and uncle to me. There is a beautiful video on the site that explains the situation. There is also a incredibly touching letter from Levi's dad.
I'd love it if you would visit their site and get to know Levi and if you could help him please do so:
http://www.help-levi-learn.org/
ALSO please spread the word of Levi and his family's story.
Thanks!!!
